Chapter 23: Prelude to the Meal

"Hmm." Leng Mu'an took a sip of tea and sat quietly on the chair.

"Lady, lady, then next time we invite them to our house. I asked my father to make a lot of good food for them. Lady, do you say it's good? "Oh, I'm going to let my father make roast duck, jade meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, glutinous rice chicken...... I feel a little hungry again, what should I do?

"Hmm." Who is the woman with Su Wan who looks at her, her identity must be different from ordinary people. I really don't know if this is good or bad for Su Wan.

"Lady, should we go and see Sister Ruyan, she had a headache just now. Well, let's wait for noon, I guess she's lying down now, wait for her to get better!"

Jin Manman fiddled with the teacup, suddenly remembered Sister Ruyan, and asked.

"Hmm!" Now that Su Wan has returned home, she can only ask tomorrow about it.

It's as cold as smoke in the courtyard

"Miss, why is your life so bitter! The third master doesn't want you, and my mother is dead again, so I didn't let people bully me after following the eldest lady a few years ago. However, how could you get a head disease? Miss, get better soon!" Before I stepped into the cold and smoke-like house, I listened to Xiaomi's cry. Qian Shuyue frowned, hesitated for a while, and was about to knock on the door.

"Qian, Qian Jiaoxi, I've seen Qian Jiaoxi, why are you here?" Xiaomi opened the door, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and came out with the medicine.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyan" Qian Shuyue was still annoyed that she didn't allow the worldly to show her love a few days ago, and found a reason for her family to go home on a blind date. However, when I returned home today, I saw her shopping in the cold house with a man, and she was very happy, and she was a little lost and hid. Later, following them, the girl threw herself into the man's arms. And she was angry, it must be because this Nizi is not self-respecting, and she is her teacher.

I just heard the maid talk about it and learned that it was the eldest lady's father-in-law, and after listening to the short conversation between Xiaomi and the maid here, Xiaoyan was sick. I don't know why, I couldn't hold my feet, and when I reacted, I had come to the cold courtyard, but I hesitated in front of the door, and I saw Xiaomi coming out with the medicine.

Leng Ruyan is just a concubine, and there was originally no independent courtyard. But because of the reason for friendship with Leng Mu'an. She has an independent courtyard, but there is only one room where she lives and a small room of less than ten square meters for her personal maid Millet. The open space in the courtyard can only be planted with small flowers and grasses.

"Miss, uh... Miss, she's sleeping now, woo..."Xiaomi thought of what Dr. Huang said: head disease, difficult to treat. Even a person as powerful as Dr. Huang can't be cured, Miss, what should Miss do?

Qian Shuyue asked, "What's wrong?"

Need to cry like this at rest? The old master once said: If there is a master, there must be a servant, but Xiaoyan has never seen her cry, why does the maid love to cry so much. No, Xiaoyan's hands and feet trembled when she saw me before, since when did she start to be afraid of me, and there is... Yes, it was after falling into the water that year, and it is said that she cried to find her mother that time. She fell into the water without paying attention, but fortunately, the eldest lady passed by and called someone to save her.

"Qian Jiaoxi?" Didn't she ask what's wrong, why did she answer Qian Jiaoxi but didn't respond? Also, the young lady's affairs don't even care about the third master, how can Qian Jiaoxi, an outsider, react much.

"Ahh What did you say? Qian Shuyue, who was immersed in memories, came back to her senses.

"Dr. Huang said that Miss had a head disease that was difficult to treat. Woo... Why is Miss's life so bitter, she has no mother since she was a child, and her father ignores her, and she is bullied all day long. Woo... Finally, after a few good years, he is going to die. Ahh

"What is going to die, you make it clear!" How is it possible, I just saw her talking and laughing today, how can she be going to die

Qian Shuyue couldn't believe what her ears were hearing, and asked anxiously.

"Woo... Dr. Huang said that Miss's illness was... Woo... Qian Jiaoxi, Miss, Miss is usually the closest to you except for the eldest lady, Xiaomi, please accompany my young lady more! She, her woo... Time is running out. Xiaomi wiped her tears with her sleeve in one hand and held the medicine in the other. Looking forward to Qian Jiaoxi's response.

"I'll go see Xiaoyan first." She didn't believe it was true.

Qian Shuyue pushed open the door with trembling hands, and looked nervously at Leng Ruyan, who was lying quietly on the bed. It's not at all similar to the lively and active Leng Ruyan on weekdays. Such a cold smoke really made Qian Shuyue feel distressed, of course, in her opinion, it was a pity for a junior.

"Little smoke..."Qian Shuyue called softly. For fear of waking her up, I hope she wakes up and tells her: Xiaomi just misheard and was not so strict. Under this double contradiction, I came to the bedside that was as cold as smoke. Sit on the edge of the bed and look at the cold as smoke.

Leng Ruyan was lying there quietly, and Qian Shuyue was sitting there quietly, as if the two were characters in the painting.

Cold Mansion Dining Room Small Stove House

"Uncle, I've found all the materials you want!"

"Thank you."

"You must not be embarrassed when you say this."

The subordinate said in fear.

"How so?" said the Father: "When others help you, you have to thank you." Why is the lady so weird, she doesn't accept thanks.

"Uncle, it's almost time for dinner, or let's get it later."

"But the lady doesn't have much appetite!" What to do? I didn't see anything for the lady to eat. By the way, my father seems to have said that hawthorn can be eaten. Can increase appetite.

Jin Manman picked up some hawthorn and said hurriedly: "Then wait down." ”

The man only felt like a gust of wind. He blinked, rubbed his eyes, and shouted, "Uncle, uncle." ”

"Hey, Zhang Fugui, what are you calling? Why don't you come and help, you don't want to eat!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" Zhang Fugui responded. "Call you spirited, isn't it just a chef's thug, what's the spirit, I'm angry." secretly scolded, looked nervously left and right, and found that there was no one, so he hurriedly ran out to help.

Jin Manman, who ran all the way back, began to shout before he reached the house: "Lady, I'm back!"

"Lady, I, I'm back!" Seeing that there was another person in the house, Jin Manman greeted with a smile: "Sister Xiaocui is good." ”

It turned out that it was Xiao Cui who disappeared early in the morning, and after returning to the house, he and Li Fu counted the return gifts of the Jin Mansion until the inventory was completed just now.

"I've seen my uncle."

"Lady, give." Jin Manman forced the hawthorn in his hand into Leng Mu'an's hand.

"What are you doing with this?"

"It's not that the lady has no appetite, she was going to make soup for the lady to drink, but the man said: It's time to eat. So... I'll take these for the lady first, and I'll make the soup later. "The lady doesn't seem to be happy!

"......" no wonder he hurried out.

"Lady, eat! It's all washed. Jin Manman saw that Leng Mu'an put the hawthorn in his hand on the table and had no desire to eat.

......Although Leng Mu'an was reluctant to eat it, he saw that Jin Manman specially brought it, so as not to pick up one for him.
